VK3ZL was skewed NW path today with 589 signals. He was 
inaudible SW and barely readable west on my receiving arrays.

I did a blind 1,2,3 test on transmit, and Bob reported 1 (589-599), 2 
(449), 3 (569). 1 was northwest, 2 southwest, and 3 was due west.

Bob was loudest on his 45 foot vertical (as usual), and reported my 
omni vertical better than my dipoles (as usual). Bob's normal path 
is just south of due west.
